Worth Checking Out?

If you’re not familiar with the Lightworks video editor it’s well worth checking out. The learning curve isn’t as steep as it once was thanks to a simplified UI, and its power and feature set is impressive.

Some features, export options and file formats do require a Lightworks Pro subscription, which start from $14.99/m (or $99/year). A comparison of versions is available on the Lightworks website.

To get a feel for the app you can watch the official ‘Getting Started’ video, which we’ve embedded below. This short videos gives a solid intro to the editor’s various capabilities and it’s unique workflow.

You’ll find a heap of Lightworks tutorial videos on YouTube showing you how to do everything from basic timeline editing, green screen effects, titles, overlays and more.
